Installing the Required Oracle Solaris OS Patches

Several operating system patches are required for the proper operation of the compilers
and tools in the Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 release on the Solaris
OS (see Appendix D, Patch Identification Numbers and Descriptions). To install the required Solaris OS patches, you can run the
install_patches.sh utility that is included in the product download.

If you are running the GUI installer, the System Analysis page informs you
if your system does not have the required OS patches (unless you
specified the -—nfs-server option when starting the installer). You can then run the install_patches.sh
utility by clicking More info, and then clicking Execute install_patches.sh now.

If you are running the non-GUI installer, run the install_patches.sh utility after
installation to ensure that your system has the required OS patches.

Note - If you are running the install_patches.sh utility on a system running Oracle Solaris
10/09 or Oracle Solaris 9/10, you might see one of following messages.

For patch 147463-01, required patch 137137-09 does not exist.

For patch 147464-01, required patch 137138-09 does not exist

You can ignore the message because patch 147436-01 (SPARC platforms) or patch 147437–01
(x86 platforms) is required only on systems running Oracle Solaris 8/11.

If you have installed the Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 software on a
Solaris or Linux server and it is going to be used from client
systems, then do the following:

On each client system, mount the directory on the server into which you downloaded the package installer.

mount server:filesystem download_directory

On each client system, run the install_patches.sh utility to install the required Solaris OS patches.
